thanks
the ole roofers trick is a little harder with some quad then with a tube of silicone lol
California patch would have hooked you right up. Only fair I offer some of the expertise in my trade considering you have done the same. You can still use screws on a cali patch. I would have cut to the access panel and then threw in a backer near the box. Then cut a cali patch to the shape of the hole. Vancouver Carpenter has some good videos
Apartments are always fun working around all the ghetto past repairs lol. Another point for the cal patch btw because you aren't worried about matching thickness
Caulk game almost as good as the AMC squeeze, 😁
trim looks good from my house
Whenever i have to patch where the surfaces aren't level , i mix some 20, and I mix it tight (meaning not runny) and butter the studs/joists/framing area with the 20 and put the new drywall in place and screw it , but I screw it in slowly......until the surface of the new drywall is flush with the surface of the existing drywall and stop screwing , even if the head of the screw is above the surface . Then after the 20 is set hard , i sink the new screws to the proper level , because at that point, the 20 is so hard that the new drywall wont sink below the surface . It will stay flush with the existing drywall around the patch . And then I finish the joint as usual . This method is much better and faster than using a whole bunch of shims of different thicknesses to shim the surface all around the hole to be patched. If it's at the end of the day , and I have the benefit of overnight for things to set , I will use PL 200 instead of 20 , and by morning , the PL is so rock hard , it's even better than the 20. then i set the screws and tape as usual.
Nice tip!
@@spankiedoodlesteve2086 , thank you brother .
Coming back strong! How's the house going?
It's going now. Hvac dude shit out on me like i said he would lol got a new guy installing next week. Should Move Quickly from there
Pro tip: if you use a heat gun instead of a fan, you cut your dry time in half! Good work bro!
Heat gun isn't good . It dries too fast and won't bond properly , it will crack later . Air movement is the best actually . I've been taping 37 years . Trust me , air movement and , on big jobs , a dehumidifier are best .
On small repairs when you need to get in and get out it works perfectly fine. I’ve done it 100s of times with no issues. I wouldn’t suggest it on a large job by any means. But for a quick patch, especially one you didn’t include in your bid, it’s perfectly acceptable.
Next time just cut square on edges of hole add two pieces of strapping on edges screwed through drywall half on edge of hole cut new drywall that way patch is alot smaller
I'm a drywaller and the purple sandpaper way better than the black mesh ones
Thought boy cub stepped in the hole before I watched the video
Yep yep yep ! Unless you’re not ashamed 😂😂😂 one of our best “boycubs” went through the popcorn ceiling in January and we had to throw out 1500Cad in order to move on to the next job. If that was flat, we’d do ourself but it is what it is 😂😂😂 LIKE !
Zack, I only use those sanding "screens" when i use my vacuum attachment
3:15 golden like a shower 🤔🤔
Blow out "California patch" that wouldn't even have to cut it bigger or use screws
good to know!
@@NWIVeteranConstruction I have to patch 5-8 foot holes a year lol
@@ivtec845 that is INSANE lol I'd be so mad
@@NWIVeteranConstruction trust me lol it happens on the full plywood tear offs where the rafters are only about 5ft off the floor joice at the ridge so guys are always standing on the floor joice's and a foot slips off. these style homes are very popular in my area
